stoltenberg why is this treaty so important to nato the extension of it. well a lobbyist li european governments are not parties to this treaty but europe does make up the mass of land in between the u.s. and russia and nobody wants to see nuclear tipped missiles flying over their heads so it is very critical for european governments that this final treaty that remains between the u.s. and russia is stabilized now as was mentioned the trump administration but wanted to extend this only for one year and 2 to bring in china and that was something that just wasn't going to work russia bolt at this the negotiations were very difficult and didn't make any progress so it's now very key that in these these few days before the treaty expires on february 4th that the u.s. can get moscow to agree to its proposal to extend it now for 5 years then the 5 in ministration presumes that negotiations will resume on opening it up to possibly covering other types of weapons and covering other countries including china that's

important for the europeans as well clearly now in d.c. what does biden's proposal tell us about the incoming administration's russia policy. well let's remember that the new president joe biden told to the u.s. american allies that they will have a friendlier partner in the white house and as my colleague from brussels said they want to include several countries if possible including china he's trying to confirm this with this kind of actions towards a europe but also towards russia and we also know since yesterday the president joe biden has tasked the intelligence service in the united states with conducting a full assessment off russia russian and interference in the past elections in november 2020 as well as russia's use for chemical weapons against critic alex saying of ali and the alleged. soldiers in afghanistan as so as white house press

secretary said yesterday. that biden he is committed also to holding russia to account for these actions so it's clear it's not going to be an easy bilateral relationship but it has never been that way and for now this treaty about kind of weapon that is really a threat to the whole world has at least been extended for 5 more years and tell you what is new hoping from the new barn to mr nation when it comes to its policy towards moscow. nato allies will support all of those things that the biden white house has announced it is going to push with the kremlin the nato allies are under attack just like the united states for attempted election interference for cyber attacks nato itself constantly under cyber attacks daily so they are all going to be very supportive of taking a strong line on trying to resolve some of these issues with the kremlin at the same time pursuing arms control i spoke yesterday with former nato number 2 rows

got to miller who negotiated the new start treaty and she said you know as bad as the bilateral relationship has been and is at this moment the u.s. and russia have always been able to sort of slice off and handle arms control at the same time almost as a separate issue because everyone understands what an existential threat this is so she's very much hoping that this 5 year proposal the extension to propose for 5 more years will be accepted by the kremlin and then both sides can move on to addressing some of these other issues that are so critical to improving the relationship if that's possible. in brussels and currently no more in washington i thank you bruce for your reporting. you're watching the new still to come. dortmund in a slump we'll look ahead to tonight's crucial game against the receiver mentioned blood but they cannot afford to have a loss. but 1st google says it will block its search engine in

australia if the government does not back down over a new media code forcing the tech company to pay for news content or the code or put forward by the government aims to make google and facebook page australian media companies for using snippets of content from their sites on the government has hit back now at google saying it will not respond to threats. australian news outlets one google to pay them a fee or face a hefty fine for publishing their content in its search engine a corresponding law was drafted in december google says that's unacceptable and it retaliated at a hearing before the australian senate. the principle of on her street did linking between websites is fundamental to search and coupled with the unmanageable financial and operational risk if this version of the card would have become law it would give us no real choice but to stop $1000.00 google search available in

australia this would be the 1st time that google had pulled out of an entire continent but australia isn't taking it lying down. to strive you mike's now rules for things you can do in a strike that's done in an apartment it's done by a government. and that's how things work here in stride and people who want to work with that in australia you're very welcome but we don't respond to threats google has a lot to lose if australia goes ahead with its demands other countries could follow europe has long post a challenge for the tech company after months wrangling with french publishers on thursday google finally agreed a payment framework for including their content on its search engine. the spam now alexander fanta who works for net's politico dot org a german blog on digital rights and culture and he joins us from vienna mr hanson do you think this new legislation currently being debated in australia will spell

the end of the power of tech giants well i think what we're seeing here a very hard ball tactics played well i grew in australia and i think it's quite novel this little confrontation how this will play out it's very hard to set the moment but i think it. is merits bearing in mind that there are very very few examples of withdrawing its services entirely from an time markets the only one that comes to mind is 10 years ago when google withdrew from china to avoid censorship so google's moving australia it's pretty unprecedented how much of an impact could this have on tech companies. i think the world is following these examples so we have. media bargaining code which

contain some elements of a similar to the you copyright their active which was passed in 2 years ago and i think this is a. very close parallel to investigations going on right now at u.s. where regulators are looking at google's dominance in the advertising eco system so i think all these initiatives link up in some way and provide examples and models and data for each other now take giants like google and facebook these accusations in the past what's different this time i think this time regulators really showed it serious that the dominant market position of tech companies india view has gone too far and i think that more is to come when you look at how the european union has just a month ago announced a digital services markets specifically targeted to very large online

platforms we're seeing a lot of willingness to action that we didn't just didn't see 5 years ago or even 3 years ago what have been some of the reactions towards this annual legislation. so of course there has been some criticism some digital rights groups in australia say that the code does not address underlying problems of google's market dominance in the market but it should so a tightening so i think it's fair to say that a stopgap measure to force tech companies to share a bit of their revenue but it does not fundamentally change the underlying system i think the same can be said of the copyright their activity european union so the question now is you know. regulates go ahead with these measures and then will they take further steps to really limit the market of these companies could we really see the search engine the biggest search engine in the world google no longer be

operative in australia for operational in australian ship and i think that's entirely plausible i mean also i like to point out even that even though some people forget it who is not the only said and so we have in most countries microsoft's being. a small but significant market presence we have european alternatives such as. in france and i think that people in all are starting to look closer at what are tentative services to those of these large tech companies alexander found out working for the german blog has probably take on digital rights and culture thank you for joining us thank you well the going to have an hour to the prince a football and brisebois to will be looking to get their faltering title challenge back on track when they visit brazil mention glatt back tonight and midweek loss

has left them well off pace another defeat would put a massive dent in their title hopes. things are not going to plan for dortmund this season tuesday's $21.00 defeat at fellow title rivals by laver couzin has less than 10 points off the top of the table and it doesn't get any easier with a tricky trip to receive mentioned grant back tonight. we discussed the labor coups in match in great detail and we agreed that you can't go on like that so soon used by gates we expect the guys to perform differently in this game or. in the. i for opposing coach mark the match could be akin to a job interview he's tipped to take over at dortmund in the summer after impressing it go out back the most to me. i don't want to comment on speculation we have an

important game against dortmund we really want to win it wouldn't have been. after their midweek victory grab back have the momentum but history is not on their site they've lost their last 11 league games against dortmund this one could be pivotal in the race for the title. good luck to them in northern turkey a devoted dog a spent days waiting outside a hospital where her owner or was receiving treatment the dog named bunch of bon jovi followed the ambulance carrying her owner and then made daily visits to the hospital even though she was being cared for by relatives she would repeatedly run off and return to keep watch outside the hospital all day long file a bunch of cool was reunited with her own urchin wow and she could barely contain her excitements jamal has since been discharged from the hospital and little bar joke is set to be taking good care of him at home.

they are truly man's best friend you're watching the dover news coming up next indeed every news asia wind many of india's health care workers are reluctant to get vaccinated against the current a virus. that's starting home or coming up with your strategy indeed if you use it occasionally on rock n roll and on behalf of all of us here thank you so much for your company.

should call. a game day in the middle of the week closed out the 1st half of the season. labor costs and took down their 1st. game since.

lost against a long. there are 2 bidders the 1st half of the season. 16 d w. it's about billions. it's about power. it's about the foundation of the move toward the new silk road. china wants to expand its influence with this trade network also in europe conflicts or inevitable consequences unpredictable but instead of what it ever since a chinese investor got involved here our situation has changed before the floor was privatized a work was much better and easier. china is promising each partner's rich but in europe there's

a sharp warning whoever accept money from the new superpower will become dependent on it the commitment of a shaking the chinese state has a lot of money at its disposal. and that's how it's expanding and asserting its status and position in the world be the fish of the bush making. china's gateway to europe starts feb 19th on d w. this is the w.'s a shock coming up today concerns over its there was largest covert thank you vaccination drive. questions arise in india about the efficacy of them nor could you develop vaccine as a country goes ahead to immunize in frontline health care workers was a concern and what is the government doing about them plus. i guess it's the world's 1st cohort of artists walked out trying out virtually cut off for harm from

the rest of the world for 11 weeks what impact has that had on its residents. our british welcome to do the news asia tragical join us it's been 7 days since india launched what's been called the world's biggest corporate 19 immunization drive a drive that aims to target some 13000000 frontline health care workers in its 1st phase so far even though a little over $1000000.00 have already been vaccinated it is below expected targets a key reason for that is set to be vaccine hesitancy that's being it's to scribe primarily to the lack of efficacy data about a locally developed vaccine called vaccine despite the concerns many health care workers are relieved that there is a feast some light at the end of the covert tunnel. for 37 years old.

it's a big day today she's going to get her 4th of the call that 1000 vaccine. has been working as a nurse at a private hospital in delhi. and has been for over 20 years now as a head worker during the pandemic she has been worried about the safety of her family against divide us. maybe i have to take a toll that there are little children in our family and i was concerned about their health i had to stay in a separate room keep my clothes and shoes separately maintain proper hygiene constantly use sanitizers i had to take care of the smallest pains maybe. deter is one of the 1st in line in the country to receive the vaccine for the widest. india is in the middle of what is being called the world's largest covered 19

immunization program. in the 1st round of the vaccine rollout the government aims to vaccinate about 30000000 health workers and other frontline workers. to vaccine so far have been given images the use approved by the country's drug authority the oxford astra zeneca called me she live in india and vaccine and indigenous vaccine developed by part of biotech but as the country takes a crucial step towards battling the pandemic many concerns loom large there are questions being raised on core vaccine getting approval from him going to target without its efficacy data in place added 50 trials are still underway some experts say that this is a break from established protocol and could lead to a loss of best trust among people who however there's no clear consensus on this issue in the medical community dr verrinder as john a leading that's the knowledge it says the approval to go vaccine has been given

a line on the data of immunogenicity and safety. he says such images see government approvals are not uncommon in unusual circumstances. we need to accept. to communicate better transport or the community should then communication. and communication no should not be confusing to people even though there are actual voices regarding the emergency approval many working in the has. confident that vaccination is the right step to take. in that timeframe with the numbers are going down so it be very imperative that it became vaccinate as many people as possible it would be able to avoid be told be if i'm feeling good after getting the vaccine. everybody read for their tone and definitely get vaccinated. this is a highly contagious disease so it was important for the back clinician to stunt.

the thought is now almost through the mind e.g. 20 minute observation period post waxing nation she said she has started feeling more secure against a coronavirus and is eagerly awaiting the 2nd dose for more i'm joined now by molly i saw she's a public health professional dancer also works with the all india drug action network welcome as i said it's been a week now since india rolled out its vaccination program how has it gone so far. so it's certainly been a beautiful muted start to the backs of the nation because of the hasn't been seen sean by the health care workers who as you know was supposed to receive the vaccine in the 1st. reports are coming in from all parts of the country about the new were done with blood that was expected and one of the 2 acting in part of biotech for vaccine was approved a before the efficacy data would have been a bit and this may be one of the factor was affecting the willingness of people to

get vaccinated but india has big targets nonetheless something like 30000000 health care workers in phase one of this rollout what is the government doing to try and relieve these concerns. so we understand that the government is doing its they best in terms of public messaging to encourage the hope that will cause the vaccines but there are some limitations so for example the messaging has focused on the scene of the vaccines rather than on that if you can see now with any vaccination that are going to be some adverse events for did following immunization in india they have been around i have dates to now of individuals after the received a vaccine in one area where the government can improve its messaging is to put ok already the procedure through which any adverse event or any of the day it is investigated and also sharing information transparently regarding each of the cases

that have happened so far and leaving this would be important not only people with building confidence but also countering any sort of misinformation that may be so keen to just help us understand how exactly are people getting vaccinated i mean as a part of the parents of the government is deciding who gets to jobs is it possible that people who want to get vaccinated can just walk into a vaccination center and get the job. no soul of vaccination is staking place in a famous man our government has identified priority groups and they are being offered the back scene in a certain ordeal so right now we are starting with 0 at the end of the in his gavel and we get the vaccine followed following that there will be vaccine all for 20000000 frontline and then off they will be about 217000000 people either above the age of 50 your those who have comorbidity use of the plan in the

initial phase a vaccination is to inoculate approximately 300000000 people which as we know is a huge task but that's what the government has embarked upon is there any plan to make this vaccine available in the private medical sector given that india has a huge private medical sector people who can afford to pay for medicines or vaccines they can get themselves vaccinated to join them or. so the government has not granted any such permission for private scene and there are good reasons for it the supplies of the vaccine are limited and the government is following the principle of vaccinating the priority populations and by the foot's so at this stage it's really not an unreasonable that the government is controlling the supply and the distribution of vaccine there is of course one company the sort of institute which is very keen on selling go back scene for putting it up for private sale at a premium price and this so far has not been agreed upon of course this

could also create equity issuance so we're not it's not available when i have a. reliever there for the time being with under so much for joining us minding the ice or nah. saturday is the anniversary of the world's 1st lockdown in china authorities locked down the city. where the virus is thought to have originated and the surrounding home province as the death toll skyrocketed roughly 11000000 people remained in lockdown for nearly 11 weeks in what the number of cases dropped significantly since then china has continued to fight localized outbreaks of mosse testing and lock downs just fall on how. a city of more than 10000000 people locked down main thoroughfares shut traffic diverted

except for bare essential oils nothing and no one allowed out or in the market believed to be ground 0 for more the virus spread was closed to customers testing samples taken then fenced off. to homs hospitals became swamped with patients people began seeing the images of sickness and mortality the death toll climbing from single to double to triple digits and higher people on the street teeter between optimism and fatalism. i'm not too worried i take precautions when i go out anyway masks and so on must be worn i got the other you know you finds us there's just nothing we can do. as officials work to contain the virus they also worked to contain information about it this way dr lee when yang was reprimanded by police for sounding the alarm about of then unknown disease he

died weeks later from the virus but his whistleblowing forced more transparency about china's efforts to contain the outbreak lockdown lasted $76.00 days. and today is a very different place back to a new normal with people out on the streets and going about their businesses we asked for one residence how life has changed since unlocked oh geez you're going to . show what our whole country has put a lot of effort into fighting the pandemic another look especially here and who. talks like shutting down a whole city affects people's lives a lot and who handed it that's great to deal with because. it's fantastic that has recovered from the pandemic people keep wearing masks even when it was hot in the summer people were wearing them it's great that the people who are so cooperative. you have

a how are you but i'd look at you don't feel that this is a happy place. funding has been you know it's very good look how lively the city is everything is ok now i just hope we can take our masks off soon. correspondent mathias berlingo was in one last july after the lockdown was lifted chair he describes the measures china took in the city and since then not only did china at that time shut off one and the neighboring regions from the rest of the country it also locked up the citizens of one inside their homes for several months they were only allowed to leave their home with special permission eventually these harsh measures paid off and the virus was eliminated in one and in most of china however a year later the chinese government is still alert about the virus there are occasional flare ups and whenever this happens china reacts with equally harsh measures a recent outbreak around beijing shows how china is reacting

a few 100 cases were enough to shut off and tire regions with more than 20000000 people of the rest of the country. that's it for today. and facebook. on monday at the same time. the coronavirus pandemic. has the rate of infection in developing. the latest research. information and contacts. on t.w. . set to go. as

we take on the. world. that matter to. whatever 6 months. may. expose hail the coronavirus vaccines as one of humanity's greatest achievements. it took a matter of moms as opposed to years or decades but we're still in uncharted territory . no way 33 seniors died after being an okie lated against code 19

authorities are investigating whether there was a link. to his being the audi issue in the past with other vaccines that's why the world in setting up monitoring systems. watching out for side effects that may not have been seen in big clinical trials. still hopes are high that this is the best vaccine in history. it's a race between injections and infections and israel is winning it's a quarter of its population scientists are closely watching to see how effective the vaccine is when given to an entire population and checking to see if it's safe . this basketball stadium in tel aviv is now a vaccination center people under the age of 35 are already being immunized here. are getting their 2nd jam. the vaccines are being administered in record time by untucked pfizer is delivering millions of doses in return the pharma companies are

receiving valuable data that allows them to measure the efficacy of their product. i mean i don't have a problem with the data agreement and i don't feel like i'm part of an experiment we're leading the world on vaccinations and israel offers the right kind of infrastructure. it's israel's health care system with its universal insurance that makes the country so interesting to buy into pfizer insurance companies allocate doctors to patients streamlining the vaccination program. the digitalized and centralized nature of data collection has created a treasure trove of readily available information. if one wants to understand how it real world rollout of the vaccine program impacts public health then israel with the digital health repositories and it's very strong with the logical capabilities and it's very good outreach of public health and clinical health to all of the

citizens is probably an ideal place to do that. the main objective is to find out at what stage the vaccination drive achieves herd immunity and to figure out ways to get there fast the data used in the research has been made anonymous. but that hasn't stopped critics from sounding the alarm people are saying what's the problem with anyone anonymize data and the problem is that anonymized data medical data today can be transferred to be non anonymize if you have the right tools and the right technology we want to have a kind of an offer sites experts that will make sure that this data is that going to be exploited later by 3rd party. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has him for sized but the findings will benefit the rest of the world. but his prime focus is the impact that the vaccination program is having in israel itself.

you know we will be the 1st country to defeat the pandemic the deal i have struck with pfizer allows us to vaccinate everyone above 16 by the end of march. the ambitious target coincides with parliamentary elections which netanyahu is hoping to win but while the number of backs nations are shooting up so too are infections a race against time that israel is determined to win. still we don't know how long immunity lasts and if there are long term effects let's look at the immediate effects with heaven from the german association of research based pharmaceutical companies i asked him what i should do if i get a headache fatigue or other symptoms after the injection well it's absolutely normal. trends the mild reaction to a vaccination like the ones you've mentioned all arrays don't vote for a while it's awful thing so if you experience that your bravo really don't have to

do anything but just wait for a moment if it's a long of all thing or if it's small severe the best thing all the important thing to do is really report it to the doctor and make sure that you all possible side effects get reported to the authorities what would be more severe or serious side effects that had force are regulated to say act. well if they are. if they are more prolonged really they don't go away. of coals they really have to react to reports when they're. when the symptoms need hospital treatment or if they are in some way really frightening i say this is all being monitored but what about in countries where there's no reliable

safety monitoring going on. this used to be a pretty huge problem but that's been progress in recent years. you add show the world health organisation has work. to do to create so-called mad safety app that's an app that can be used on mobile phones. this enables everyone to revolt side effects and so because many even who are a country's now days have mobile phone networks this is really a way to spread. reporting system even results will settings mr can you tell me the people being monitored have got that same being given the vaccine are they also being checked to see that they don't get sick and pos on the wires. this is checked this is part of the

clinical trials to find out it's not as easy to find this out as it is to see people get some dramatic over it 19 or not so it takes longer to find out and part of finding out is of calls to see if when you vaccinate people in the south and region. does. decrease they've had them make more than is just explained from having people for themselves immune to the virus in the meantime some of us are going to have to wait a long time to get there is that saying i mean shouldn't i just wait and see how it goes with other people. well the diseases than. the virus spreading keeps spreading keeps mutating and ways see new versions of the virus which are probably even more easy to contract

so for everyone who has the opportunity to get a vaccination this is certainly a much better option than having the risk of getting infected so and without having to pay for our way. well in germany. european union. the governments pay all the vaccination. and various countries outside e.u. this is also the case of calls doesn't apply to every country in the world. they're from the german association of research based pharmaceutical companies let's take a quick look at what is the 1st photo of kofi 2 until now images of the microscopic menace that plagued the world being computer generated models but not the

technicians at night a graphics a spinoff from b. as technical university of use 3 d. technology to scan the virus something color it gives us the most detailed view yet for such is hope it will help fight the disease more effectively as the actual shapes of the particles and now clearer than befall credible something so little and pretty cause so much trouble. and if that's not enough to fascinate you maybe williams will is his daddy segment answering your questions on the coronavirus. how does the pfizer buy on tech vaccine work. i've answered this before but the question is posed again and again so i guess it's maybe time to go over the details again 2 of the vaccines that have now been widely approved one developed by biotech and pfizer and one produced by my dear no are what are called a messenger r.n.a.

or already a vaccine now the technology behind them has been the focus of a lot of research for decades but but this is the 1st time they've received widespread approval from health care authorities unlike vaccines based on traditional platforms ones that for example used in activated versions of the virus the biotech pfizer vaccine leads to an immune response of the body by delivering information in the form of a special molecule messenger r.n.a. . m.r.i. in a molecule sar are single stranded chains of what are called nucleotides that fulfill a very important function in cells they're kind of the blueprints for making proteins and act as messengers between a cells headquarters in the nucleus and it's protein building factories out in the side of plasm and hence the name but the protein these new m.r.

and they vaccines include for isn't a human one it's a protein made by the corona virus and when that m.r. and a is injected it causes your cells to begin making that viral protein and that viral protein provokes an immune response just as if you caught covert 19 sending in the pretty simple quick to produce more and the code molecules to make these complicated proteins and getting the body to do the work is a great solution to a complex problem and and there are high hopes that m.r. any vaccines which seemed to a finally come into the road are now set to revolutionize a range of fields in medicine. finally even in a pandemic is romance a british couple who were critically ill with the virus has married on the code ward elizabeth and fiance simon o'brien her adieux and strive was so sick doctors
